Got to agree with the ssssnakeluvr on the amphibian comment. They're notorious for passing parasites on to pet garters. Captive snakes are under additional stress because of their confined quarters, foreign smells, frequent handling, etc. Stress reduces the immune system, which makes them more vulnerable to common pathogens than wild garters are. Captive garters with parasitic infections also reinfect themselves to a greater degree because of the confinement issue. Many people feed amphibians, but they're taking an unnecessary chance. Can't wait to see pictures,
